How do I loose a tooth that isn't loose?

I'm supposed to go back to the orthodontist in a month to get braces but I'm supposed to loose my last baby tooth before that. The problem is it isn't even loose! They said if they have to they will pull it. The X-rays show that it's ready to come out and that the permanent tooth will come in very quickly after I loose the tooth. It's not loose at all, should I try to remove it myself or just wait and see if it gets loose naturally or should I just wait and let them pull it?

    Please don't try to remove it by yourself. Wait and see what happens. If it gets loose and falls out by itself that's fine, but if not then let the dentist pull it. Good luck.

    If it doesn't come out by itself, let them pull it. The orthodontist can give you painkillers if you need them.

    Just let the dentist do it. Why would you want to risk getting it done poorly when a professional will do it for you properly?
